After Kirk’s Killing, Suspect Joked That His ‘Doppelganger’ Did It
NYT ^ | 09 13 2025 | Nicholas Bogel-Burroughs

Posted on 09/13/2025 7:19:35 PM PDT by yesthatjallen

The day after Charlie Kirk was killed, an acquaintance of Tyler Robinson’s posed a question to him in a group chat.

The F.B.I. had just released two grainy surveillance images of a skinny young man in a cap and sunglasses walking in a stairwell on the Utah Valley University campus, and had asked for the public’s help in identifying the suspect.

Tagging Mr. Robinson’s username on Discord, a messaging platform, the acquaintance attached the images and wrote “wya” — where you at? — with a skull emoji, suggesting that Mr. Robinson, 22, looked like the man being sought.

Mr. Robinson replied within a minute. His “doppelganger,” he wrote, was trying to “get me in trouble.”

“Tyler killed Charlie!!!!” another user wrote, apparently in jest.

That was on Thursday afternoon, around 1 p.m. local time. It was not until later that night, nearly 34 hours after the shooting, that Mr. Robinson was arrested on suspicion of carrying out the assassination of Mr. Kirk, 31, a conservative pundit whose killing has inflamed the political world.

I saw a video of him opening a scholarship letter. It was for $32,000. He did not know how to receive the news until his mom gave him the response. So he’s either autistic or he may have gone through something like the CIA’s MK-Ultra.

“doppelgänger”

Physical evidence will convict him.

He only stayed at that school for less than a semester.
He probably didn’t even want to go to college at all.
Some other teenager, one more emotionally mature that Tyler, could have put that $32K scholarship to good use.

Maybe he got the phony excuse from the monster on the Charlotte train Decarlos Brown who stabbed Iryna Zarutska to death.

He said someone was in his body doing it as he watched it happen or something. Too stupid to figure out the best wording for a phony insanity plea——and he actually seems insane. Don’t tell the judicial system I said that.

Have to make sure you read the article - the person joking apparently did this *before* they knew he was the murderer.

Any mention by CNN or NYT of the transgender roommate?

If not, why not?

He can talk it over with his Doppelganger when he’s serving life without parole in the Florence Supermax. If he’s that lucky.

Is that before or after he threatened to commit suicide?

It wouldnt surprise me if the reason he dropped out was because of extreme isolation, based on the video I saw.

His mannerisms would have been a turm off to the kids.

>> He can talk it over with his Doppelganger when he’s serving life without parole in the Florence Supermax.

That might be more painful for him than a relatively painless execution after a decade on death row. But Supermax is a federal prison, right? Won’t he be going away on an all expense paid vacay to Utah?

So this guy is online within 4 hours of killing Charlie joking with his gamer crew about his possible involvement in the murder while the entire Fed investigatory apparatus is looking for him. I hope they play his messages during the death penalty phase

All the chit chat is saved to the cloud.
FBI and NSA can read/scan the written words for evidence and other conspirators

Someone is leading and financing these dumbasses

This doesn’t surprise me at all. Just look at how many leftists have been posting their glee all over the internet.

Many teachers, doctors, attorneys, legislators, you name it.

They really believe the laws do not apply to them and that murder of a political opponent is just peachy keen.
